Somebody listen I'm a voice in the distance crying come see about me

I am a stranger in a world filled with anger come see about me

I'm gettin' weary tryin' to carry this load all by myself

I'm bone tired and fallin' can't you hear me callin' I need somebody's help

[ guitar ]

I am a young man growing wild across this land come see about me

I'm fourscore and twenty I ain't got anybody come see about me

I'm somebody's children alone and forsaken a wave that's lost at sea

I'm right here behind you I'm all around you

So slow down turn around and you will see

[ guitar ]

I am your mother your sister and your brother come see about me

I am a baby my mother ain't no lady come see about me

I am your maker the giver and the taker come see about me
